3) If it is kept only four control points-at the'angles'of'the
block it is obtained the following results, with the three
kinds of GPS data--
Differential Pseudoranges and phases Pseudoranges
Tx 0,79 m 0,77 m 1,29 m
Ty 0,63: m 0,64 m 2,32- m
Tz 0,51 m 0,53 m 0,98 m
4) When"all the control points are eliminated it is kept only
one-imaginary point without error, at the center of the block,
with the following results :
Differential Pseudoranges and phases Pseudoranges
Sad DM 0,25 m 1,04 m
Ty 0,67 m 0,70 m 1,27 m
TZ 0,56™m 0,63 m 0,93 m
Comparison of the previous results involves the following re-
marks :
l) results are not really affected by elimination of control
points of which accuracy seems lower than those of GPS measure-
ments. This fact can be explained by the kind of the used con-
trol points (it is natural points) and the accuracy losses due
to transfer of points on the 1987 photoflight.
2) Contribution of differential measurements appears negligible
3) Results with only pseudoranges are not so bad as it was fea-
red, particularly with an imaginary control point. In fact it is
the photogrammetric block itself which ensures smoothing func-
tion.
4) North-South strips play an important part to ensure stiff-
ness of the block, for instance in altimetry. When these strips
are eliminated from photogrammetric adjustment there is no im-
portant effect in planimetry but a high degradation in altime-
trv.
C) Vichy test site
For this sheet we have only differential and pseudoranges
smoothed by phase GPS data.
This sheet has a better ground equipment that the Lunel one
because there was a ground preparation just after the aerial
survey, in 1987." Aerial triangulation gives, therefore, better
results, with adjustment residuals on control points as follows:
